The passing lanes of eastbound and westbound I-90 will be closed to traffic. Crews will build and pave crossover lanes on I-90 at Highway 13 and Freeborn County roads 22, 26 and 46. All work should be complete by mid-October, weather permitting.

This is preparation for a 12-mile concrete paving project next year on I-90. Beginning in spring 2019, crews will re-pave westbound I-90 with concrete between Highway 13 in Albert Lea and Freeborn County Road 46 near Petran. Workers will also re-deck the westbound bridge over Freeborn County Road 46. The crossover lanes being built now will allow westbound traffic to travel in a single lane in the separated eastbound lanes adjacent to the eastbound I-90 traffic when paving begins in 2019.
